The mini golf course wasn't far away from the bowling alley, so they were able to get there pretty quickly. Like before, David and Susan were talking to the person behind the counter, leaving Yaz and Doctor alone.
'I can't believe I lost a bowling game.' Doctor said out of blue. 'This never happened to me before.'
Yaz chuckled. 'Well... Thanks for the compliment, Doc.'
Doctor looked at her confused. She clearly didn't mean it that way. Although seeing her girlfriend happy made her feel a bit better. For that smile, she'd lose every game there is.
'Well... I'm good, but clearly you're better.' she said. 'I guess I can't be the best at everything.'
Yaz took a step closer and put her hands on Doctor's waist.
'Don't be so hard on yourself, love. I know how much you like winning, but that was just a stupid game. When someone's life is on stake, your win rate is much higher.' she smiled.
Doctor smiled too. 'I know... Thanks Yaz. You always know what to say to make me feel better.' she wrapped her arms around Yaz's neck.
'Well... The next stupid game will be much easier for you, because I never played mini golf before.' Yaz admitted.
Doctor's eyes sparkled. 'Maybe I can teach you? It's pretty easy. Basic physics.'
'We're supposed to play against each other, remember?' Yaz smiled.
'Well, it wouldn't be fair to win against someone who doesn't know how to play. I'm sure they will understand.' Doctor was clearly excited.
'Hey, lovebirds!' they heard. David and Susan waited for them with a bunch of putters and golf balls. 'Shall we?'
Yaz and Doctor smiled at each other once more and took their hands off each other.
'Can we press pause at the competition for a second?' Doctor asked. 'Yaz haven't been mini golfing before.'
Yaz's cheeks turned a bit pink.
'Of course, we can.' Susan answered. 'The first hole is pretty easy, so it will do perfectly for training.' she took two putters from David and gave them to her grandmother.
'Thanks.' she took them and gave Yaz a sign to follow her.
The first hole was indeed easy as there were no obstacles on the way.
'Okay, so in golf, you have to get the lowest amount of hits you can. So hole-in-one is the best.' Doctor placed a ball in the starting position.
'Got it.' Yaz took a club off her hand. 'How do I stand?'
Doctor smiled. 'Here. Let me show you.' she pointed at the place in front of her. Yaz quickly got into the position.
'Okay, so you need to stand this way, both hands on the club.' she placed her hands on her girlfriend's hips and fixed her posture, then she came closer, making their bodies meet, and grabbed Yaz's wrists. She was a bit surprised by hottness of her body. Yaz was an eager student. She let Doctor guide her movements completely.
'And then, you just need to calculate the amount of force you need to give the ball through the club.' Doctor said. 'Arms straight. Do not bend the elbows. And then just...' she moved Yaz's wrists to the side and they hit the ball. It went straight to the hole.
'We did it!' Yaz exclaimed. 'It really is easy. Thanks, Doc.'
Doctor smiled. 'Pleasure is all mine.' A bit reluctantly, she let go of her wrists and took a step back. 'I think you're ready.' she went to get the ball.
Yaz let Susan and David know they're ready, and soon enough, the game started.
David didn't lie about being good at golfing. He tried to look like he struggled too, but it was clear, it was not his first rodeo. Doctor and Susan were doing fine too. Like David used his gut to feel the shot, Doctor and Susan used physics. Yaz could almost see the cogs turning inside their heads when they were calculating how hard they need to strike the ball to go wherever they wanted. Yaz was doing okay too. She needed few holes to really get that whole golfing thing. It was clear who's gonna come on top in this game, as Yaz's score brought Susan down a bit. Although with every hole, Yaz felt more confident and she was getting better at this. Unfortunately for her, she came last.
'Don't worry, dear. They can have this one.' Susan tried to comfort her, while Doctor and David celebrated their win.
'It's okay. I like to see her happy.' Yaz answered, watching Doctor high fiving David again. 'Nothing else matters.'
'You're a good gal, Yaz. She's really lucky to have you.' Susan gave her a hug. Yaz smiled and hugged her back.
'So, ladies. I think we have a tie.' David said once he and Doctor finished their winner dance.
'Yes, we do.' Susan agreed. 'So let's say, drinks are on me and Dave.' she offered.
'Great! A pub then? Or we're going home, getting the booze on the way?' David asked.
Doctor and Yaz looked at each other and smiled.
'Oh, I think I had enough thrill for one day.' Doctor said and Yaz seconded her.
'Yeah, I could use some comfy couch.'
David clapped his hands. 'Okay then. You girls go home, and I'll get something to drink. Any preferences?'
'A pint would be nice. Or couple of pints.' Yaz said.
'Yeah, for me too.' Doctor added.
Susan frowned. 'Didn't know you liked beer, grandmother.'
Doctor shrugged. 'Well... I haven't tasted one with this tongue. Maybe this body will like it... I remember one of my previous bodies didn't quite apreciated wine.' she chuckled remembering last time she tried to drink wine and spat it all back to the glass.
Susan giggled too. 'Oh, it was THAT bad...'
In no time, all four of them were back to Susan and David's place. They made themselves comfortable in the living room, and Dave popped beers for them.
'Thanks.' Yaz took a sip. 'Oh, I haven't had beer in ages.'
Doctor also took a sip of hers. For a moment she looked like she wanted to spit it out, but she held it inside her mouth for a moment longer and eventually swallowed it.
Yaz watched her with a dose of amusement. 'How does it taste, Doc?'
'Bitter.' she scronched her face. 'Wasn't prepared for that. But surprisingly, I like it.' she took another sip, and this one went a bit better.
'Are you sure?' Susan asked, taking a glass of wine from her husband. 'We can get you something sweeter. Or non alcoholic.'
'I'm sure. I'm fine. Beer's fine.' Doctor answered.
For the rest of the evening they chatted and laughed at Doctor's stories. It was the first time Yaz saw her girlfriend a bit tipsy. Maybe that was the alcohol talking, but Yaz found tipsy Doctor even cuter. She talked even more than usual, her cheeks were pinkish... For a moment her mind wandered off as she watched her girlfriend laugh at David's joke. She realised how madly in love she was with that petite alien woman. How much she cherished every moment spent with her. How much she loved just laying in her bed with her, cuddling. It definitely wasn't just sex. She smiled and thought she wanted this moment to last forever. She tried to take another sip of her beer, but the bottle was empty. That made her come back to reality. She noticed that Susan was looking at her with a smile.
'Your bottle is empty, love.' she said and passed her another one.
'Thanks, Susan.' she took it and opened it with a bottle cap she took from the table.
'Woah, how did you do that?' Doctor's eyes widen. She was clearly amazed.
Yaz shrugged. 'I can open a bottle with pretty much anything.' she giggled. 'My mates from the precinct taught me that on a field trip.'
'Interesting.' David said. 'What's the weirdest thing you used to open a beer?'
'I think... A plastic bag.' she answered, a bit embarrassed.
That confession made visible impression.
'A plastic bag? Like the one you carry your groceries in?' Susan asked, chuckling.
Yaz nodded, and Doctor looked like she has just been enlightened with some ancient knowledge.
Brunette chuckled. 'The most entertaining way is to open a beer with another beer. It looks so cool.'
'Teach me.' Doctor said, still amazed.
She started to explain how to do that to her girlfriend. Doctor just listened with a smile, gazing lovingly at Yaz. Maybe that was alcohol, but she realised, she didn't want to leave Yaz. Even if it meant abandoning her travels. At this moment she knew, if Yaz asked her to stay, she'd said yes without hesitation. Susan watched her grandmother looking at Yaz exactly the same as Yaz did moments before. She squeezed David's hand, as a silent sign to look at them. It didn't take long for him to see what she meant. These two were clearly meant for each other.
'It's really useless ability, as I don't drink much. Especially now.' Yaz said and drank from her bottle. 'But, I missed a cold pint. Forgot how great it feels.'
'It really does feel great.' Doctor seconded her. 'Although I can feel my mind slowed down. Funny feeling.' she emptied her second bottle.
'Woah, easy there, tiger.' David tried to intervene, but it was too late. 'Maybe two is enough for you, Doc.'
'Nonsense. I can drink alcohol.' she answered with certain difficulty. 'Oh, my tongue is not tonguing-ing anymore.'
Seeing that, Yaz decided David was right.
'Thanks for your hospitality, but we should go back to the TARDIS.' she said. 'Someone could use some sleep.'
David and Susan chuckled. Doctor did that too, but she wasn't entirely aware that this someone was her.
'You can use our guest bedroom if you want.' Susan offered.
Yaz smiled politely. 'Thanks, but we don't want to cause you any trouble.'
Susan wasn't having any of it. 'No trouble at all. You need to rest properly. Please, I insist.'
Yaz sighed and watched Doctor discover her straps.
'Okay, let me just put her in bed and I'll join you again. Still have some beer to drink.' Yaz said clapping her thighs.
'Can you walk, Doc?'
'What? I'm not drunk. You can't walk.' she answered.
Yaz sighed again. She got up and picked her girlfriend like a bag of potatoes and held her on her shoulder.
'Woah, Yazz strong... Yaz great... I love Yaz... Bye Sue, Bye Dave...' she said while Yaz carried her to the guest bedroom. Once the door closed, she gently put the Doctor down on the bed. Blonde immediately grabbed her shirt and made her lay on top of her.
'Hi, gorgeous.' she giggled. 'Wanna make out?'
Yaz smiled at her. 'Oh, I would love to.' she placed her knee between Doctor's thighs and leaned in for a kiss, but stopped right before her lips. 'But I'm not taking advantage of your drunk ass.' She pulled back a bit.
Doctor laughed. 'I'm not that drunk...' she wrapped her arms around Yaz's neck making her come closer again. 'And my ass needz some taking advantage of...' she kissed her girlfriend. Yaz kissed her back. Their tongues danced around each other as lips hungrily clinged to each other. Doctor put her hands on Yaz's butt and pressed her harder to herself.
'I want you, Yaz... I want you now.' she said to the kiss.
'We can't. Not now...' Yaz tried to fight her, but Doctor's grip was harder than usual.
'But I'm so horny... Please...' Doctor almost begged.
Yaz sighed. 'That's alcohol talking...' she tried to be the responsible one here, but Doctor decided to make the decision even more difficult for her, by putting her hands inside her pants. She gasped, as one of them slid from her ass cheek, through her hip to the place between her legs.
'Oh, I think you're happy to see me.' Doctor smirked as she felt the moisture. Yaz's breath became faster. Her heart was telling her to give up and stay here with her, but her mind reminded her that Susan could read minds. That worked like a charm. She gathered all her strength, and freed herself from Doctor's grasp. She stood up next to the bed.
'You're not fun anymore...' Blonde sighed, a bit disappointed. She sat up.
'Oh, don't you Monty Python me, Doc. Or should we traumatise your granddaughter even further? Because she'll be the first one to know.' Yaz sighed. 'Now will you please let me help you get ready for bed?'
Doctor's drunk mind finally processed the information about Susan. She nodded, and Yaz slid her straps from her shoulders.
'I don't know how ya do it Yaz...' Blonde still had some troubles talking. 'You alwayz think of otherz... I... I can't do dat.'
Yaz smiled to herself. Drunk Doctor was indeed kinda cute. 'Well that's what I'm here for. I'm your carer.' She removed her trousers.
'So I wouldn't've to care... I think I heard this before somewhere... My brain feels gooey.' Doctor's hands wandered through her own body, probably to reach her head, but they stopped at her chest. 'What are theeze?'
Yaz chuckled. 'These are your breasts, love.'
Doctor seemed to be surprised she had those. 'I'm a lassy now?'
'Wow... You really are drunk. Yes, Doc. You are a woman now.' Brunette answered with amusement.
'Nice... Oh does that mean I've...' she pointed downstairs and looked inside her pants.
'It does, and you have one. You can trust me on that. Would you raise your arms up, please?' Yaz asked.
Doctor obliged, and Yaz removed her Tshirt only to remove her bra. The sight of her bare breasts made her feel hotter. She stopped to admire them for a moment.
Doctor watched her face. A thought formed in her drunk mind.
'I like you Yaz. You smart. I like smart.' She said with some difficulties.
Yaz giggled. 'Well thank you, Doctor. I like you too.' she answered, putting Doctor's shirt back on.
'You do?' Blonde asked with genuine surprise.
'Yes, you absolute muppet. I'm your girlfriend, remember?' Yaz helped her to lay down, and tucked her in. She laid down on the cover beside her.
'That's awesome. Yaz is my girlfriend.' Doctor reached and touched her face. 'I fell for you at the very first moment I saw you.' she said unexpectedly. 'I couldn't help it. Tried to hide it really hard, not to spook you out.'
Yaz was surprised by that confession. She didn't expect that her mind would be able to come up with a coherent thought at this point.
'But I kissed you first.' she reminded.
Doctor smiled widely. 'Yes, you did. And I was the happiest person in the universe when you did that.' she ran her fingers through Yaz's cheek and chin. 'I still can't believe you're really here.'
Yaz smiled. Took her hand, and kissed it. 'I love you, Doc. Where else I could be?'
'You could have anyone in this universe, and you chose me? Lucky me.' Doctor blushed a bit.
'I'm the lucky one, Doc. You're the time and space traveling super smart, funny and good looking person. I'm sure people would kill for what I have now. Besides, I didn't know the whole universe was an option.' Yaz put her hand on her girlfriend's cheek and smiled. She leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on Doctor's lips. 'But now, bedtime. Sleep tight, Doc.'
Doctor smiled playfully. 'Do that again, and I won't be able to fall asleep.'
Yaz giggled. 'Even drunk, you're such a tease.' she got up and gave her another kiss, now on the forehead. 'Sleep tight, Doc.'
'G'night Yaz.' she answered, and immediately passed out.
Yaz felt exhausted. She came back to Susan and David, and took her beer bottle to finish it.
'Took you long enough.' Susan giggled.
Yaz sighed. 'Tell me about it. She forgot she was a woman. She's such a child sometimes.'
David and Susan exchanged looks.
'Well, that haven't changed. The Doctor I knew would scold me for cursing, and then hide inside empty Dalek shell, giggling like a toddler who is about to scare his mum.' Susan reminded.
'She's right. He always had this glimmer in his eye.' David seconded her.
Yaz chuckled. 'Seems about right...' she took a sip of her beer. 'How did you guys get together?'
Susan looked at her husband, and he smiled.
'Well... They arrived quite unexpectedly, and she was the most beautiful woman I ever seen.' David said, gazing lovingly at Susan. 'I couldn't help it. I just fell for her instantly... Then she started to tell me how much she wanted to have a home, so I asked her to stay.'
'Of course, grandfather was an older man then, I felt like I had to take care of him, so I was torn between them.' Susan gave his husband her empty glass, and he immediately went for a refill. 'Doctor was unconscious, and Daleks were coming, so he...' she pointed her head at the direction her husband went. 'convinced me, my grandfather will be allright, and we have to leave him behind. So we did. And he was allright. Our other friend found him and took back to safety.'
David returned with a glass of wine for his wife.
'Thank you, my dear... So, at this point I thought he was cute already.' she took a sip, and David took over the story.
'And we were crawling through sewers... Would you believe that there were actual alligators?' He asked Yaz, and she giggled.
'Wow. Did they escape the zoo, or something?' she asked back.
'Precisely. You're good. Anyways, I asked Sue if she would stay here with me. Fresh start, you know? Daleks destroyed everything, so we had to rebuild.' he carried on, but Susan interrupted.
'I loved the idea of having a home on my own, and a handsome fella on my side...' she ran fingers through his hair. 'But still I felt obligated to take care of my grandfather, because he did the same for me.'
David watched her with all the love he had. 'So fast forward to the countryside. We were on a mission, but couldn't help laughing and flirting a little bit... And I kissed her.'
'And I fell for him too. Planned on asking grandfather to take him with us, but Dave didn't want to leave the Earth.' Susan concluded.
'So Doctor knew you had feelings for each other, and decided for you, you should stay here with David. I know that part.' Yaz added with a smile. 'Gotta admit, that's really romantic. Well... Besides the war with Daleks.'
The couple chuckled.
'How about you and Doc? How did you meet, and got together?' David asked.
Yaz smiled widely. 'As I told Susan before... She literally fell from the sky. Into the train cart. Frankly I though she was dead, but she wasn't. Although she was very surprised to hear me calling her "madame". She asked me if it suits her. Imagine my confusion.' she chuckled. 'Later I found out she was an alien, that she could travel through time and space, and she offered me and my friend Ryan and his pops Graham a ride.'
David smiled. 'That's great story, but when did you fell for each other.'
Yaz took another sip of her beer. 'Apparently she did when she first saw me. For me... It was more complicated.' she sighed. 'I never thought I could fancy a woman. Honestly, I wasn't sure about men either. I was fine on my own.'
'I see...' Susan said. 'When did you realised you had feelings for her?'
Yaz got lost in her thoughts for a second. She tried to find the exact moment she admitted, she was into her.
'I convinced her to travel to India, because I was curious about my own grandfather, which I never met. Turns out, my nan was marrying hindu guy. My family is muslim, so I quickly realised this guy wasn't my grandpa. But we went through with it, and...' she hesitated. 'I think the first time I admitted to myself I had feelings for her was during her wedding speech. She talked about love and hope. How love was the strongest weapon there is, and it will overcome every obstacle on its way. And she made it sound so beautiful, and she was looking at me and I just thought "I love this woman.". And believe me I struggled with that thought for a while.'
Susan and David smiled.
'How did your family take the news?' David asked, and Susan smacked him. 'Ouch. What was that for?'
'Don't be rude. Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it.' she explained.
'No, it's fine. We're not that conservative. My father is a bit old fashioned, but he can't resist a pork chop when he sees one.' Yaz giggled. 'My mum walked in on us at the very beginning. Totally our fault. We shouldn't have made out in her living room. Well... Inside the TARDIS in her living room.' she added seeing Susan's amused face. 'But I think she's bisexual, because instead of being mad, she gave me some tips, saying "she was young once".' She made the quotation marks in the air. 'And she used to experiment with women... My sister... She and Doc bonded when we visited Marie Curie. Sonya was more mad that I didn't tell her that my girlfriend is time traveling alien than Doc and I see each other. And... I'm yet to come out to my father.' And then it struck her. 'Gosh, my nan. I'm pretty sure she remembers me from her wedding. That she can tell herself wasn't true, but when she sees Doc... How did that slip my mind?' she hid her face in her hands.
Susan put down her glass and sat next to Yaz, to give her a hug. Yaz closed her eyes and hugged Susan back.
'It will be fine. Trust me.' Susan held her tight against herself. 'They love you. Like you said yourself. Love overcomes every obstacle on its way.'
Yaz found that reassuring. 'Thanks.' Suddenly she felt the events of this day are taking a toll on her. She found a way out of Susan's embrace.
'I think I'm gonna join Doc in the bed.' she finished her beer. 'It's been quite a day.'
'It has. But it was our pleasure.' Susan said. 'See you in the morning.'
